## **Chairman's Report 2020-21**
Despite the major constraints of the Covid pandemic and the resultant lockdowns, we have managed to maintain a good momentum on the project during the year, with an increased volunteer group and regular work sessions on the BBC Outside Broadcast vechicle MCR21.
The mechanical restoration work at Ward Jones Ltd was finally completed in February and the vehicle was returned to its base in Camberley for final exterior work and the start of the major interior fit-out. The vehicle is now mechanically sound, driveable and has been re-painted in the correct 1963 BBC livery.
The remaining volunteer activities in the year have included lighting and power re-wiring, finishing of lockers, bumpers and other external parts, and a major effort on cleaning the interior. Other volunteers have been working on equipment refurbishment, website and social media material and video documentation of the project.
Covid constraints inevitably prevented all our planned attendance at schools, museums and public events.
Our next stage funding from the Heritage Fund (c. £39K) was approved and paid, following a project stage report. In addition, a successful application to the Garfield Weston Foundation resulted in a £2K grant. Donations and equipment sales have boosted our fund-raising by a further £4K.
We have finished the year with a far larger group of supporters, more volunteers for the restoration work, and a far wider level of public awareness, reflecting continued enthusiasm for the restoration of MCR21.
We have been invited to attend the Goodwood Revival in September 2021. This will be a major project milestone, and the first public outing for the newly-restored vehicle.
